Nationwide severe weather reports
from 7 AM June 8 to 7 am June 9. Map courtesy of the Storm
Prediction Center. Click map to enlarge. For a specific

A line of strong to severe
thunderstorms moved into west central Illinois during the early
afternoon on June 8, pushing east and southeast across the state.
Individual storms also developed ahead of the main line of storms.
As the afternoon progressed, an outflow boundary pushed ahead of the
main line of storms, causing high winds and damage before the main
area of storms arrived.
Temperatures ahead of the storms
reached into the lower to mid 90s in many areas. Once the storms
arrived, these temperatures quickly fell into the 60s.
|
 |
The national weather map at 7 am
CDT shows a cold front across the Plains. A mesoscale convective
system (MCS) developed ahead of this front during the night, pushing
across Iowa during the morning and into Illinois during the afternoon. |
 |
This map shows a plot
of severe weather reports around central and southeast Illinois.
Most of the reports were of damage to trees and power lines.
South of Altamont, in Effingham County, an empty silo was also blown
over. A couple dime size hail reports were received from
Lexington (McLean County) and Rossville (Vermilion County); however,
the warm atmosphere helped suppress the hail threat.

Some much-needed
rainfall occurred across portions of central Illinois. The
higher amounts were west of I-55, with some 1 inch totals in Knox and
Peoria Counties. Unfortunately, much of eastern Illinois missed
out on any substantial rainfall, although totals near an inch were
reported around Effingham and Lawrenceville.
